Notes from Toa Supply
Choosing a carrier oil or lotion for the work you actually do
Glide, working time and how easily it washes out of linens are the three properties that separate these products.
Hot stone sets: temperature, handling and what the warmer does
Basalt holds heat because of what it is. The warmer is the part that needs attention.
Trigger point tools and protecting your own hands
The most common career-ending problem in this trade is the therapist's thumbs. Tools exist mainly for that reason.
Linens, laundry and oil: keeping sheets usable
Oil-soaked linens are a fire risk and a smell problem long before they look worn out.
Essential oils in a professional room: dilution and disclosure
The practical questions are dilution, storage and telling the client. The rest is outside a supplier's remit.
Stocking a mobile practice so nothing is left behind
A fixed room forgives a missing item. A mobile practice does not, and the fix is a packing list rather than a better memory.
